>>885507Simple. The lab is irrelevant. Some people just don't like digging in their pockets when they can shift their wrist a tiny bit. Sitting it takes me much longer to pull out my phone than it does to look at my cheap-ass watch.
Not the guy you quoted, but if I have grease or generally wet or dirty hands or I am wearing gloves, I'd rather not dig in my pockets to look at the time.
If you don't think a watch is useful for you, don't assume that it isn't for anyone else.
Next up you'll give me shit for carrying a notebook and a pen with me everywhere.
